The Eastern Province Ladies volleyball team did not have a happy ending in the inter-provincial tournament. The team was coached by Ebrahim Hassan (IBBY), an accomplished player and a dedicated promoter of volleyball.

The ladies team came from a few clubs in Uitenhage, PE and Grahamstown. Unfortunately some of the names of the players escapes me but i will give it a go. Kamila was a setter and Browyn a spiker from Rhodes, Gadijah Jappie was a spiker and Yolanda Sutch was a setter from All Stars. Alena Serkova was a foreign lady that played for UPE. There were also players from SAP, and Tycon in the team.

When the team got to Durban they faced of the toughest competition they had ever faced. The five day tournament held at the Universy of Westville Durban was a spectacle for both the mens and the ladies matches. The ladies fell out of the tournament in the semi finals. This was an unfortunate and emotional ending to their journey.

At least one of these ladies were chosen for the South African national team.

If anyone can give me more details on the events, please leave comments
